Should Trump Dump Gorsuch? Absolutely...No Matter the Cost...But, What Say You?

Posted on 02/08/2017 8:36:49 PM PST by Be Careful

Gorsuch had the temerity to criticize the person who has nominated him to a life-time SCOTUS position......with his comments that criticized Trump's style, I think that Gorsuch has disqualified himself to fulfill the position for which Trump has nominated him.......Gorsuch has outed himself as a fellow "Spineless John Roberts"

Gorsuch is not nominated for a cabinet position. The Judiciary is a whole separate branch of government and SCOTUS Justices do not serve at the pleasure of the President.

Trump put Gorsuch in a bad spot with dumb tweets. The whole affair is so predictable. It is like the Dems asking TRex whether he thought Mexicans were rapists. So of course Gorsuch has to speak from the perspective of Justice, and thus the remarks.

The solution is for Trump to measure twice and tweet once. But no way does Trump pull the nomination.

So what if Gorsuch said this. Big deal. Even if true, it's a personal opinion.

Tempest in a teapot...

Blumenthal lied about his military service, so why should I believe what he has to say?

Because a Trump staffer assigned to Gorsuch in the Senate confirmed he said it

I’m unable to trust anything reported in the media about Trump or anyone around him, and I’m even more unable to trust anything with a democrat politician as the source.

The media is lies. Their goal is discord, division and destruction.

Beyond that, it’s up to Trump to make the call on his nominee.

This is a Trump 3D chess move.

They colluded on this to make dems think it’s a good SCOTUS pick for them...given the circumstances.

Everyone calm down.

“Amazing how people here will trash a Trump nominee based solely on what a Rat says ...”

I agree. Blumenthal has no credibility with me. If the judge says it than that is one thing, but Blumenthal, no.

Where did Great get it from? Did she play a clip? Blumenthal is the Dem who supposedly quoted Gorsuch.

Ditto. I don’t mind a Justice who speaks his mind, and that was somewhat disheartening the way Trump presented it. Get over it.

2006 confirmation hearing - http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/2016_0131_gorsuch_confirmation.pdf See page 7.

He’s listed as a “term member” on this list of donors. http://i.cfr.org/content/member/CFRdonors2009.pdf Term members are five year memberships. http://www.cfr.org/about/term_member_program.html

His 2006 confirmation mentions CFR membership. The 2009 donor list shows him as a “term member”. So, at a minimum, a five year membership which covers 2006 and 2009. Meaning: five years sometime between 2004 and 2011 inclusive.

if they colluded... I want him pulled... for lying and manipulating.

Judges must not deviate from the truth.

if they did NOT collude, I want him pulled for being a turncoat.

Dance with the guy that brought you to the prom... RULE 1.
No exceptions. there is now way to remove the stink from a dog pile, so flush this loser candidate.

WhatI think is that FR has become the home of reactionary handwringing.

Agree. Shows Gorsuch is not Trump’s puppet or vice versa.

There was “discussion” — just discussion you don't like. My point was that you, and people like you, are snowflakes that can be easily frightened and stampeded by the smallest thing. Judge Gorsuch is going to be a great Supreme Court justice. Don't allow yourself to be manipulated into helping the progressives derail him.

If you insist upon be easily herded, please change your user name to “Weak Sister” so folks know where you're coming from.

> leftist church in Boulder, CO with a female “priest” that marches with women dressed as vaginas and has a “partnership” at the church to promote “LGBTQ rights”.

Is he a member of such church?

Doesn’t bother me at all... If this is what will make him likeable to the Rats to ease him through confirmation then so be it. I’m just concerned about how he’ll act as a judge upholding the constitution. (as a constructionalist)

I’m amazed at how easily some people can be swayed by garbage reported by the enemedia.

with his comments that criticized Trump's style, I think that Gorsuch has disqualified himself to fulfill the position for which Trump has nominated him

What do you think the qualifications for that job are?

My concern also has been how his church informs his views and worldview. However, his book on Euthanasia is clearly not in line with the teachings of his church.

I also would refer you to this article is it relates to Euthanasia and the sanctity of life:
I read Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch's book. It's very revealing.

The ACLU doesn't like him. The ACLJ DOES. I totally respect the ACLJ on their opinion.
